    No foul play is suspected in the death of Australian cricket great Shane Warne at a Thai holiday island villa, local police said on Saturday.

    The 52-year-old was found unresponsive at Samujana Villas on Koh Samui island on Friday.

    “No foul play was suspected at the scene based on our investigation,” a Thai police officer told AFP.

    Warne’s management released a brief statement in the early hours of Saturday.

    “Shane was found unresponsive in his villa and despite the best efforts of medical staff, he could not be revived,” the statement read. “The family requests privacy at this time and will provide further details in due course.”
